16 VAU. And he has broken each one of my teeth; he has fed me with ashes.
17 VAU. And my soul has been driven away from peace; I have forgotten what is good.
18 VAU. And I said, "My end and my hope from the Lord has perished."

20 ZAIN. I will call to mind the past, and my soul shall languish within me.
21 ZAIN. These recollections are in my heart; therefore, I shall hope.
